Check your settings under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties on the
Desktop and compare them to the laptop. Also see point 3 here:

Maybe because the mail has allready been downloaded to your Desktop
Depending on the type of account you may need to use the options to keep a
copy on the server, but without knowing the type of mail account its hard to
say

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

If both computers are checking the same email account, whichever
one completes its email download first will make those emails
unavailable to the second PC. To fix that problem, go to Tools,
Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." Depending on how
much server space your ISP allows, you may want to select one or
both of the two associated 'remove' options.

Repeat the above on the second computer.
